Happy 21st Birthday!

Happy Birthday to US! August 14th was our 21st birthday! I love being a twin! We have had so much fun together! Its great sharing our birthday together. Luckily we were able to get together on the 15th to celebrate our birthday. I love you Ky! You are going to be a fabulous missionary!

On the 14th, I called Scott on my way home from work and asked him what we were doing for my birthday tonight, and he said that he wasn't feeling good, and that he just wanted to stay home... I knew something was up, because Scott knows how much I love birthdays! Well I got home from work and the house was all clean and there were PINK presents and flowers on the table. And then I asked him what we were doing, and he stuck with his story that we were just staying home, and he had ordered pizza. Well as I was opening my presents there was a knock on our door, and in comes my good friends, Natty and Josh. Then Jenni shows up, then Cincere Lee and her family.... they just kept coming! Then Mace and Melissa, Kurt and Liz and Erik and Teresa showed up. It was so fun! We just ate pizza and hung out in our tiny little apartment. It was a great 21st birthday. I love all of our friends down here in Arizona. Thanks for coming everyone! Thanks for a fun birthday Scott! Love you!

Utah trips

This summer has been so busy! We have been up to Utah quite a few times, and still have a few more planned. So we are a little behind on our postings. We went up over the fourth of July. We stopped in Lake Powell on our way up and spent a day there with my best friend, Mandy, and her family. We had a ton of fun! And then we went up to Sandy and went to the parade with my family and to fireworks on the fourth. The fifth we went to our niece's baptism, and then to a rodeo with my parents and sister. Then we went back up to Utah July 16-20th for an Andrewsen camping trip. We had a ton of fun! We camped at Yuba Lake, and went boating. We had a lot of fun with our nieces and nephews who we don't see nearly enough! Scott taught his neices how to knee board, he was pretty tired, but wouldn't have it any other way. Then Kylie went through the temple and took her endowments out July 19th. That was awesome to be able to go through the temple with my twinner. Afterwards we went to Red Robin for lunch. It was a busy trip, and they are never quite long enough.

our story

Jetti was working at Rafaels when she first served Scott's parents. They hit it off instantly, and so his mom decided to ask if Jetti had a boy friend. Jetti replied, "Sort of, he's on his mission right now, but I am dating other guys." As soon as that was said Scott's mom whipped out photos of her single boys. The first time Scott and Jetti actually saw each other was when Jetti served the entire Andrewsen family. This was for Scott's parents birthdays in October. Over the next few months Jetti and Scott occasionally worked together at the restaurant when Scott picked up some shifts. One night when they were working together in late January, Scott decided that they were going to hang out that night after work. Jetti informed Scott that she already had plans with some of her girl friends. Scott was persistent, played that they'd already agreed on plans and that she was breaking them, and even went as far as calling the girls to cancel the other plans. That didn't work. The girls showed up to the restaurant as it was closing, as planned. Scott headed home, and Jetti and her friends couldn't think of anything to do. So they too were just going to head home. As Jetti was driving home, she decided to take Scott up on his offer. She called back to the restaurant and got Scott's phone number from the manager. She called him, and she and the girls went and hung out at with him and his brother. They set up an official date for the next week, and after that they were inseparable.
